Over a 24-hour period beginning early Oct. 2 and ending in the wee hours of Oct. 3, the foundation for UAMS received more than $500,000 for the state’s only health sciences university in response to the second annual UAMS Day of Giving fundraising campaign.

Donations were still being counted when the total hit $518,000.

“Philanthropic support is critical to the UAMS mission, which includes everything from training tomorrow’s health care providers to making groundbreaking scientific discoveries to providing the highest quality medical care. In these and many other ways, we work to improve health for all Arkansans,” said UAMS Chancellor Cam Patterson, M.D., MBA. “It’s both validating and humbling to see that so many of you believe in supporting this mission, and we could not be more thankful for each donor. You are investing in a better future for our state.” MORE
